AIR CONDITIONING - POOR COOLING IN HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES OR IN CONGESTED/HEAVY TRAFFIC DRIVING



LIGHT TRUCK:
1993 VILLAGER


ISSUE:
Inadequate A/C cooling may occur when outside ambient temperatures are above 85~ F (29~ C) or in congested/heavy traffic driving. This may be caused by the A/C system being improperly set on the outside air mode instead of on the recirculated air mode.



ACTION:
Make sure the owner understands that for maximum cooling the A/C system is set in the recirculation mode, cooling already cool air. This is indicated by the illumination of the light in the outside/recirculation air switch. Refer to the Owner Manual for instructions on the operation of the A/C system.
